Day Off!

You would think that I would want to sleep in during my day off...but I did sleep over my sister place again...and this little DollGirl woke me up early this morning...but how can I be cranky in the morning if this lil darling wakes me up?! Just look at her!

Doesn't she just make you smile?! There are times where I just want to stay home and just do my own thing...but I love this lil' munchikin soooo much and she can make my upside down day turn right side up with just one look at her. She is such a sweet girl too! My parents things that I spoil her...but I try not to...I don't.  I work with 2 year olds...I know how it is like to work with kids who are spoiled...it's hard. I know that it's sooo hard not to spoil them...but for their own good, you shouldn't. I am NOT judging any parents on how they raise their little ones...but I don't spoil DollGirl.

But when I do sleep over she wakes me up every time...and I love it. The best, so far, alarm clock! :) But I sleep with my itouch on to sleeping sound because I hate dead silence so she takes it and pretends that it's a phone...and she is so cute to watch. I love her!

Well, I had my leftovers for breakfast! *laughs* Along with this lychee tea...can't say that I liked that tea that much...I'm not a big fan of lychee period...so, this tea wasn't my favorite...very VERY flavorful though and one of my sister's favorite so I wanted to try it...but I didn't like it. But anyways, as I was saying, I had my pizza for breakfast. Hey! Don't hate! :) I have to say though I did NOT take the time to reheat my pizza the way that they "suggested"...but it still tasted so ono! :)

Since all of us had a day off we didn't really have any obligation so we decided to go to Hala'iwa, North Shore and just walk around there. I love walking around there...it's like Hawai'i's versoin of St. Helena...they have cute little shops and SUCKS! Because since my sister was going to drop me off at home right after I ended up bringing all my stuff out to the living room to bring it to the car...but unfortunately DollGirl got in my stuff without me knowing and took my itouch out of my bag...so I didn't get to take any pictures...oh well. I was able to take some of the beautiful drive home with my ipad...and NO I was not going take that around with me and take pictures with it...but from the car it was okay...*laughs*

The waves were HUGE! So beautiful! I love just going to the beach here in Kailua and even Lanikai and just sitting on the shore and just being around the ocean is sooo calming! I love it! It's so beautiful there...and there is something about the ocean that makes everything seem like it will be okay. Everything will be okay. I just love the ocean and everything that has to do with it.

And you know that you can't go to North Shore with out tasting some of the ono food! So we stopped at Ted's Bakery...it's one of my favorite places to grab some dessert. The food food is kind of more of the pricy side...but their pie is do DIE FOR! It is SOOO ono! :) So that Chocolate Haupia Cream pie is most definitely onolicious! You should stop by if ever! :)

We were able to stop at one of the many beaches that we drove by and I saw some pretty washed up coral and sea glass...and so I was able to get some for my collection. I love coral...they are just sooo beautiful...and so I am picky about the coral that gets added to my collection...and I wanted to try something with the sea glass...but we will see. It's amazing how the rubbish of some people can turn into something beautiful as sea glass...but I still don't think that you should throw rubbish on the beach. EVER.

All in alll...today was a very good, relaxing day. I was even able to talk to my parents. They are at my cousin's place right now. I miss them so much...and I hope that they are doing well. But here is to my day off and a wonderful time spend with family. 

Oh my days.

Oh goodness! So I knew waking up that this day would be a LONG day....but I was ready to tackle this day! Because I'm just cool like that. :) So, I woke up at around 5:50am to the wonderful smell of Cinnamon rolls baking in the oven! My sister knew that Amanda and I were going to wake up early to go to her jogathon that was happening early this morning. Oh yeah, we all spend the night at my sister house...so we were all there. My brother, Amanda, and I. My brothers went to go bike riding and Amanda and I took off to her schools jogathon.

SOO dark still that you can't even see my shoes...couldn't turn the light on coz I didn't want to wake everyone else up!

Just a little past six and this isn't even when I woke up! AND on a Sunday too; I should be sleeping in! *laughs*

So, we got to Kaiser Highschool in Hawai'i Kai at around 7:10...and Amanda and I started our day. It was a lot of fun...! So Amanda's school had a jogathon which lasted around two hours. I ended up being a counter. Meaning to say that I was to count the laps the her class did. It. Was. Hot. But it was so worth it because it was fun watching and cheering the little kiddos on! I was doing the 2nd graders...and they did a really good job! I am so proud of them! I had to keep moving myself because my shoes kept sticking to the ground if I stayed still so long! It was that hot...it got hot fast too! But everyone had fun and it was good.

When I got home I was sooo tired and I was starting to get a headache. I think it was because I didn't have my first coffee a black coffee. I ended up getting a Java Chip Frap from Starbucks...and then also I really did try drinking lots of water in the hot sun, but I don't think that it was enough so I get dehydrated and so when I got back to my sisters house I drowned myself in water and took a nap because the big game.

The 49ers and Seahawk game started at 1:30pm, so I was able to wake up myself to watch the game. I am sad. I am a Niners fan...it's all good...better luck next year...right?! So, Neal and I were a little bit bummed about the game (and I know a lot of other people were too! Come one now..BAD CALLS! BAD SPORTSMANSHIP! Just bad, bad, bad!!) so we ended up going out to eat at California Pizza Kitchen in Ala Moana.

It was a definitely a better experience than we had the last time we went to CPK! But I had my BBQ Chicken Pizza...put me in a better mood. I like Pizza. *laughs*

I also tried their Peach Lemonade...and I think that it's safe to say that I have a new favorite drink! *laughs* It was so yummy...a little on the tart and sour side...but wow, it was SOOO yummy. AND unimited refills...that was amazing! :)

Well, after we ate, we walked around a bit and I saw that Bath and Body Works was having a sale! So of course, I adore this store so I couldn't help myself and bought myself some stuff! So, all this was suppose to value at $60...but I only spent $20! I am excited...I always use the little hand sanitizers ALL. THE. TIME! I have to, working with kids is like that. I may not be a germaphobe...but I do get paranoid about all the germs that linger around the preschool! Plus, I need to watch myself because I don't want to get sick and see my lil DollGirl sick and get her sick...so I like to use A LOT of those hand sanitizers. 

LOOK! They even threw in a free lotion to boot! Yay for Bath and Body Works! I use to go here all the time on the mainland...but here in Hawai'i it's soooo far and so now I only go every so often...so I try to stock on on things that I know that I use a lot.

But tomorrow we don't have school in honor if Martin Luther King, Jr....so I'm staying the night at my sisters and we will see what we will do tomorrow.
